397. Italy: Remembrance Sunday with the Pope’s Secretary
After Mass, we went to the
village square in front of the Cenotaph, for
the ceremony in commemoration of the dead in the two world wars which in
Italy takes place on the first
Sunday of November.

At the end of the
ceremony I watched the two Monsignors from Rome greeting,
chatting and laughing with the parishioners and thought, how far away seemed
those days when we fell on our knees and kissed the rings of bishops, cardinals
and popes- now it’s big hugs, smiles as large as a half-moon and kisses on the
flesh... no matter how much lipstick you have on.
